CHARLATANS WATCH 2001
CHARLATANS WATCH 2001
As avid viewers of I Hate Music will know, I have a particular fondness for The Charlatans and their life jacket lipped frontman Tim Burgess. The jist of this stems from guessing which icon of rock or pop will they rip off on each of their new releases. Well, blow me down with a force ten gale of tuneless yelpery from Burgess’s own lips if they haven’t gone and picked squeeling pig era Rolling Stones. For some reason Tim thinks that what the world needs now is someone sounding like a poor man’s Mick Jagger doing that silly falsetto which never got on any of the greatest hits records.
And Love Is The Key? Well it certainly isn’t in any key usually recognised by Western popular music. They might have been better in the key of F. Or at least F’ off.
